Nature, Seasonal

Happy October

Hope you are enjoying the 10th month of 2019. I have been busy, but productive. This time of year is especially fun for photography.

I love spending time in nature. Mordecai Historic Park near downtown Raleigh is a gem. I am drawn to the peace and tranquility among the giant old Oak trees, squirrels, flowers, and birds of this charming place. I have been fortunate to see many bluebirds this year at this scenic wonderland. Check out my article Bluebirds in the City for the North Carolina Bluebird Society.

Cheer, Greetings, Inspiration, Seasonal

Happy Sunday & St. Patrick’s Day

Hello, Friends. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday/St. Patrick’s Day. Went outside this morning to start of a beautiful North Carolina day. Snapped a few photos of my “Hoosier Flowering Almond” that is in early stages of bloom. This plant means so much to me. I love flowers, and this one is especially gorgeous. And, a sign of spring and sentimental value.

It is pink, which is my favorite color (the green leaves can be the symbol of St. Paddy’s Day color for today).  It was transplanted from family land in Houston, IN to Knightdale, NC in 1996. Always long for home, but this floral reminder of Indiana helps.   More about my hometown can be found at houstonindiana.com.
